| | Re: File copy/move "more information" auto open Hi, Delwin. HOW are you copying or moving files? In Windows Explorer, or in a Command Prompt window, or in some application, or ??? Copying from where, to where? And WHAT "more information" button are you seeing? What "copy window". I never see such a button or such window. Please tell us, step by step, what you are doing and what you are seeing. If there is an error message, please copy it here, verbatim. And, while it probably is not needed in this case, it's always a good idea to specify which version of Vista you are using. Remember, you can see your computer. We can't. All we know about it is what you tell us. So far, that's not much. RC -- R. C.

| | Re: File copy/move "more information" auto open Hi, Bear. Thanks for the reminder. ;<} Yes, it would be nice to not need to press the button. But presenting that information probably takes some small amount of time PER FILE, and it could add significantly to the total time required for a really big move or copy of many files. I suppose the developers considered this the best compromise. RC -- R. C.
